The look on his eyes was not pleasant at all. His fangs and claws were already stained with blood.
“Who are you?” Leonel asked, moving closer to him.
“You don’t need to know. Just give me back my best friend. Give me back Anna!” He yelled as his eyes turned red with fury.
“Anna!” He yelled and another feminine voice followed.
“Elmo!”
Elmo’s eyes widened when he heard her voice. She was standing with a guy. An extremely handsome guy who was holding her waist possessively.
The fire in Elmo’s eyes ignited when he saw that.
Anna smiled happily. Oh! How much she has missed him!.
“Elmo!” She called and tears streamed down her face.
“Axel, please. Let me just see him. Please Axel!” She pleaded and Axel sighed and released her.
Anna smiled at him before running downstairs.
“Elmo!” She said standing in front of him speechless.
“Anna..” He smiled and then pulled into a tight hug which she reciprocated.
Gosh! She missed him so d@mn much.
“I missed you Anna!” He said caressing her hair as he tightened the hug, tears running didn his cheeks.
“I missed you too!” Anna said and they disengaged from the hug.
“I’ve come to take you from here, come on, let’s go!” Elmo said, taking Anna’s hand.
“Where did you think you were going with my wife?!” Axel’s voice thundered and he appeared in front of Elmo
“I’ve come to take you from here, come on, let’s go!” Elmo said, taking Anna’s hand.
“Where did you think you were going with my wife?!” Axel’s voice thundered and he appeared in front of Elmo.
“Who the heck are you?!” Elmo asked, trying not to be intimidated by his endearing presence.
Axel scoffed as he struggled to keep calm.
“Axel, please wait, I will talk to him. Just please calm down..” Anna told him to prevent him from hurting Elmo and a low growl escaped his throat.
“What the heck Anna! You are taking sides with this guy here?!” Axel yelled out angrily.
“It’s not what you think. He’s my best friend. He’s very special to me but nothing else. Just calm down Axel!” She pleaded frantically. She knew what he was capable of doing when angry. She couldn’t risk Elmo’s life.
“Anna, what are you doing? Come along with me!” Elmo said behind her and she smiled, turning to him.
“Elmo, you have to understand that I can’t come with you for now. Please…”
“Wait, what are you saying? What do you mean? We are all waiting for you at home.!” Elmo yelled and tears ran down her eyes.
“I know and I promise to visit soon. I will trust myself but I don’t have a home there any more.”
“What? What do you mean?” He asked.
“Well my parents are dead. What else do you want me to go back for?” She yelled also in tears.
“What do you mean by that? Is that the lie that he had told you?”
“Well, sorry to burst your bubble. Your parents are still alive. Well and kicking”
Anna’s eyes widened, unable to take in the news.
“What?!” She said in disbelief.
“Yeah, Anna, your parents are alive and kicking and Aunt Mia is really worried about you. She has been unhappy ever since you left the house. And now you don’t want to go home!” He yelled at her and she shook her head in denial.
